This Week's Best Stories About Double Pushchair

Which Lightweight double buggy that converts to single pushchair twin Should You Buy?

A lightweight double pushchair makes it simple to get around, particularly when you have children of various ages. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and down the stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom, adjustable reclining and massive UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. It also comes with a smart frame that expands widthways to take a second seat and compatible car seat(s).

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested are side-by-side designs and are generally recommended for children who can stand up without assistance since these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. That said they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both great options that provide adjustable recline in both seats, a huge canopy, and padded five-point harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their bigger footprint and are great for parents worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that extends its width to create an additional seat, making it smaller than most other side-by-side pushchairs on the market. It is able to pass through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It can also be used as a jogger, which is ideal for those who plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carrier.

The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another excellent lightweight side-by-side double. It provides an even greater degree of customization due to a modular frame. It features a clever design that lets you transform it into a single buggy or a double with the addition of 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It is a practical option for families growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is also one of the lightest, sexiest and most stylish available.

If you're looking for a more compact, lightweight nipper double buggy, consider the egg2 which folds to the size of a compact double buggy suitcase. It can be used as a single or double by adding 2 carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers loved the sleek and easy it was to carry even when loaded with children.

Even though they are Lightweight Double Stroller, double pushchairs that are side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are at the same age and stage, they could be fighting over who gets to sit in which position. If they're different heights, a tandem style might be more suitable for them since it will allow them to confront each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be more appropriate for siblings who are the same age tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. They can take a bigger car seat, and some even have convertible seats or an additional carrycot in the middle. They are more spacious and are easier to get into and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than those on single buggies. Many feature larger canopies, peekaboo windows and even cushioned leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabric is a little less luxurious than our other top-rated tandems, however, it still looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. Although it takes some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab described it as "genius". The carrycot can't be folded when it is attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is simple and quick.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will usually make tighter turning than side-byside models. However, they could be more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slower to accelerate and heavier to move. This puts strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another option. It starts out as an individual, but you can add adapters to make it a double. This can include an additional seat or carrycot in the front or the kids can be seated side-byside. Some of them also have the option to add buggy boards, which could help an older child keep up with a younger sibling.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into a twin-sized pram by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons create an open space for infants. They can be joined or placed in a row. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, when it's compatible with the. These buggies for dual-use are made from high-quality materials and can last for a long time without showing any wear. This means they come with a high resale price.

Single-to-Double

This light double buggy is designed for families who love the outdoors and are looking to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger by acquiring the kit that comes with air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension. It can also handle rough terrain well and it's a tandem triple that is ideal for twins or children of different ages. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a chic style that's as sleek as a single and comes in different fabric colours.

We were impressed by the way this iCandy model folds into itself with just one hand, making it really simple to master. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's still very mobile even with two toddlers and a carrycot.

The seat can be used as a parent-facing and you can purchase additional accessories for this stroller, such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each), which are ideal for infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with high-quality headrests and lumbar supports. There are numerous options to recline the seats with the front seat can be adjusted to different positions, and the back seat offering a reclining option.

This type of buggy comes with the biggest disadvantage of being wider than doubles that are side-by-side. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways and it isn't easy to maneuver up and down kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these strollers tend to be able to deal with surfaces that are paved. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides, so you can still get a lot of storage. It's worth bearing in mind that these types of strollers aren't as efficient in walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and can struggle to handle a lot of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn around on the smallest of curved paths but even this can be a challenge. Some are also more easy to turn than others, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are fantastic because they can be adjusted to the changing requirements of families. They are typically single buggies. They include adapters that permit you to add a second child's chair or a carrycot (in some cases) the car seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single buggie when your child grows older and begins to walk or prefers to ride on buggy boards.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model can carry children up to 40lbs each. It also has an easy-to-use basket between the seats to store things. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats and front and back suspension for smoother riding on rough terrain were well-loved by testers at home. It also has a handy cup holder for parents and an ample, easy-to-access basket. However, they noticed that the backs of the seats have small pockets that are not big enough to accommodate anything more than a cell phone and keys.

This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 different configurations and includes a second seat and carrycot. It features a high-profile steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions to smooth out rough terrain, it folds compactly and can stand on its own with straps that make it easy to transportation, and seven-inch front wheel with swivel locks, and 10-inch back wheels that have suspensions to ensure more comfortable riding. The only drawback is that you'll need to buy a separate baby carrier or car seat.

This versatile tandem is a top choice from our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket that can be accessed with both seats facing towards the parent. Its light weight (about the same as single pushchairs) makes it easy to move around. Many users praise the clever way it connects the second seat or riding board at the back. Parents also admired the fact that it can accommodate car seats and infant carriers from multiple brands. This includes those that aren't typically compatible with other double infant strollers buggies.
